About Our Name

In the world of fine art, a remarque is a small, personalized drawing or symbol that an artist adds on a print, typically near the signature of the original work. The presence of a remarque makes a print unique and adds an element of authenticity, thereby increasing its value.

Our goal at Remarque has always been to increase the value of our clients’ IP portfolios, by attending to the fine details, delivering highly personalized services, and adding value at every turn.
